Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs wishes to inform its readers of the following incident of redundant publication.
The following publication:
Roberts LR, Gores GJ. Emerging drugs for hepatocellular carcinoma Expert Opin Emerg Drugs 2006 Sep;11(3):469-87 Citation[1] contains information reported also in the previously published article, Roberts LR, Gores GJ. Hepatocellular carcinoma: molecular pathways and new therapeutic targets. Semin Liver Dis 2005;25(2):212-25 Citation[2], without adequately referencing the prior publication.
Although Roberts and Gores Citation[1] report considerable additional information not contained in Citation[2], Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs regrets that the earlier publication was not adequately referenced. The editors of Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs were not fully apprised by the authors of the prior publication and discovered the modest overlap only after it was highlighted to the editors after publication.
